CHEEsE.-The market is getting back to
its proper condition. Receipts are larger,
and there is enough stock on hand to more
than satisfy the demand. Prices have been
gradually settling down. New York and
| Vermont cheeses meet with rather slow
call. Full cream stock is selling fairly
well. Extra Vermont sells at 10 to 10lC,
good to choice at 9 to Zoe, common at
to SC and extra sage at II to 11Ic per pound.
BUTTER.-The market is in considerably
improved condition. The feeling is firmer,
and the general indications point to adj
vanced prices The firmer feeling is per-
haps as much on account of the firm feeling
in the dairy districts as upon the condition
of trade here. Northern creamery is in
somewhat light supply, and strictly extra
lots sell above the regular prices. Fine
Northern dairy lots are selling fairly well and
some extra Vermont lots sell especially well

to Isle, extra Western creamery at Isl
to 19c, choice do at Ii to lie, the finest

to choice do at Is to lie, choice Northern
dairy at Ii to 1Sc and fair to good do at L
to 13c per pound.
THE WOOL MARKET.
THE market is moderately active. A num-
Der of flannel manufacturers have been in
the market buying wool, and although theil
purchases have been generally overesti
mated, their presence Immediately after the
auction sales of goods is hopeful sign
Stocks of old wool here, both in dealers anC
manufacturers hands, are by no mean,
light, but Western consignors have so gen
orally increased the limit at which they
are willing to sell wool that the stocl
available is of moderate proportions ant
prices correspondingly firm. Ohio XN
sells at 81 to Sac, Ohio y at 81 to 33c
Michigan No. at 80 to 36c Maine super
80 to 33c per pound.
THE LUMBER TRADE.
THERE has been good demand for East
ern lumber during the week The arrival
have been only fair. Good building lumbe
is not plenty, and with continuance o
present conditions will soon become scarce
Many of the mills have not yet received
e good supply of logs, and are in no position
| to turn out stock The receipts here are &C
: cordingly light at present. There is n
doubt, however that the mills will be quit
I well supplied with logs before the end G
9 the season. In Northern lumber there is

small frame orders on the market and a goo
